1940 110 with a eight?

1940-110
See User information
Just acquired a 1940 110. The vehicle number identifies it as a 1382 which seems consistent with the body. However, the number on the block is C63706H. Well, C63706 comes up as a six cylinder, but the engine is quite obviously an eight. Is there some way to figure out what the engine actually is? (It’s also got an overdrive hooked to it). The car was partially disassembled over 40 years ago and has been settling in the corner of a garage since.

G'day 1940 110,
to PackardInfo.

That is a strange one, could the Eight # have been renumbered to that of the Six # it replaced?

Putting aside the conumdrum of the engine number, I invite you to include your erstwhile '40 110 and the 1938-40 Henney Ambulance, referenced in your profile, in PackardInfo's Packard Vehicle Registry

How does it fit? The 110 has a shorter hood. Have you measured the wheelbase?

Any pictures? That may help.

That serial number is indeed a Six motor.

I would imagine an eight would be just cramped in there and require firewall/radiator placement modifications in the a shorter engine bay of a six.

An eight would never fit a 110 chassis which I know from experience, having bought a 1940 110 in which someone tried to put a 120 engine. The front of the engine was resting where the radiator needed to be.
